junkieXL Posted June 1, 2006 CID Share Posted June 1, 2006 just moved across town & still have Comcast cable; but had to use different modem due to geographical crap. No problems with Comcast using the Toshiba, but now i can not send or receive files on IRC, & Ident-d server is also not working on IRC. :( running WinXP Pro / 1Gb DDR Ram / Athlon 1800 / Via chipset / Montego sound / onboard LAN Any insight is greatly appreciated :D -JxL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 1, 2006 CID Share Posted June 1, 2006 did you change anything on your computer? or anything in your router? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkieXL Posted June 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 12, 2006 did you change anything on your computer? or anything in your router? only change i can think of is installation of IE-7, but i did this before the dreaded RCA modem was hooked up...no router in use either there must be a way into the modem settings, i assume it is somewhat configurable as DSL modem is...sucks bad though. -JxL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkieXL Posted June 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 30, 2006 seems it was not the modem at all; a few services in XP Pro were disabled, after enabling them & starting the sservices, everything was Roses.....i suspect that the IE7 install changed a few things....does anyone else think that IE7 is a pile of rubbish, i have nothing good to post about it after using it 3 months +... many thanks -JxL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted June 30, 2006 CID Share Posted June 30, 2006 I used IE7 for about 3 days and removed it and went back to Maxthon. My wife still uses IE6. Yes, I think IE7 is a pile of poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted June 30, 2006 CID Share Posted June 30, 2006 welcome to microsoft of 2006.. just about everything they are doing right now is being delayed, fixed, or patched.. I am really interested to see how this office 2007, IE 7 and Vista thing goes.. maybe this is why gates is stepping down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
